“The Lamp of Jeesheesh” is my latest painting. The background for the painting was completed by using a thick mixture of Acrylic medium and Acrylic Paint. The portrait was completed in oils. The painting measures 11.8 inches x 15.7 inches (30cm x 40cm) and is on masonite.

Thrift Store Painting Modification #9

Before

After

Another thrift store painting modification. The original painting was so hideous that I couldn’t think of anything to do with it for quite some time. That clunky ass fence completely broke up the whole composition. The sky was also really strange. Getting way too dark on the top left corner. This really weighs down that corner, and creates a sense of gloom over the house. So I taped off what I wanted to save and spray painted the whole sky a gradating dark blue. I then created the planet by spraying a lot of colors together and then dabbing it with shiny newspaper advertisements. The fence and the bridge had to go, I wanted a human element. So I created this generic looking little alien guy. I like to think of him just as a normal alien. Chillin outside his cottage at night and looking up at the sky and wondering if anything is out there. lol.

Swamp Thing

When I first got this painting it was completely faded. I started layering some glazes on the background and then slowly built up the trees again. Of course the Swamp Thing was an easy character to place in this environment since as I built up the background it started getting really dense and murky. Then, once the painting was finished I applied a very thick glaze. This gives the surface a very high shine.
